Frantzdy Jerome, a Haitian immigrant in central Ohio, received shout-out after shout-out for his work at an Amazon warehouse he joined last year.<\/p>\n

In March, his manager commended him in a message for his \u201creliability, hard work and dedication to our team.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for your flexibility and picking up the extra shifts,\u201d read another message, on June 7.<\/p>\n

Two weeks later, Mr. Jerome, 35, lost his job. His work authorization was revoked in late June after the Trump administration ended a Biden-era program that allowed him to live and work legally in the United States. Hundreds of others at the same Amazon building in West Jefferson, which employs more than 3,700 people, also lost their jobs.<\/p>\n

They are among thousands of foreign workers across the country who have been swept up in a quiet purge, pushed out of jobs in places where their labor was in high demand and at times won high praise. While raids to nab undocumented workers in fields and Home Depot parking lots have grabbed attention, the job dismissals at the Amazon warehouse are part of the Trump administration\u2019s effort to thin the ranks of immigrants who had legal authorization to work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThis is not unique to Amazon,\u201d said Viles Dorsainvil, a Haitian community leader in nearby Springfield. He is aware of more than 100 Haitians with work authorizations who are now out of work in the area, he said, with the terminations reducing work forces in warehouses, auto-parts plants and stores.<\/p>\n

Such dismissals are happening at many of Amazon\u2019s more than 1,000 facilities around the country, including in Massachusetts and the warehouse in Staten Island that fills orders for millions of New Yorkers. At one fulfillment center in Florida, hundreds were let go, a person familiar with the site said.<\/p>\n
